gathered leaving flowers and remembering the victims. russian president vladimir putin lighting a candle. he has signaled without evidence that ukraine is behind the massacre, which the biden administration vehemently denies. the white house insists isis-k is solely responsible, and just before coming on the air, russia charged four suspects already in custody with terrorism offenses. abc's lama hasan leads us off from london, and some of the video in her report could be disturbing. >> reporter: tonight, a national day of mourning in russia. hundreds lining up to pay tribute at a growing makeshift memorial, laying down flowers, and president putin lighting a candle in memory of the victims of that horrific concert hall attack on friday. the death toll continues to rise. authorities now say at least 137 are dead, more than 180 injured. emergency personnel painstakingly sifting through wreckage at the scene today, officials still working to identify some of the dead.

[ gunshots ] people scattering as gunshots ring out, building makeshift barriers. the person filming this video escaping up a nearby escalator. 15-year-old islam khalilov working in the hall's cloakroom being hailed as a hero after russian state tv released video showing him direct dozens of people to safety. russia says it arrested all four of the gunmen and seven alleged accomplices. authorities releasing video today allegedly showing the suspects in fsb custody, saying four of them have now been charged with committing a terrorist act and two suspects have admitted their guilt. isis has claimed responsibility

for that attack, though putin has blamed ukraine, a notion vice president kamala harris flatly rejected to abc's rachel scott. >> no, there is no, whatsoever, any evidence, and in fact what we know to be the case is that isis-k is actually, by all accounts, responsible for what happened. >> reporter: and linsey, following that horrific attack in moscow, tonight, the french prime minister raising the threat level to the country's highest level, saying they took isis' claim of responsibility and general threats facing the country into account. linsey. >> linsey: multiple countries including france have now condemned that attack. lama, thank you. back here at home, millions bracing for a cross country storm. it's already battering the heartland. these images coming in from iowa where heavy snow made for brutal driving conditions. that system is now moving east. later in the week, the northeast could see more heavy rain. here's abc meteorologist somara theodore. >> reporter: tonight, the massive winter storm more than

1,000 miles wide now racing across the heartland. drivers sliding off the road on i-35 north of des moines, plows racing to keep up with the heavy snow. 16 states on alert. >> we have winter storm warnings in the pink, blizzard warnings and winter weather advisories pretty much all across minnesota. >> reporter: in the east, a desperate search for 6-year-old lin'ajah brooker, swept away in a rain-swollen creek outside philadelphia saturday evening. >> i haven't had sleep. i can't eat. only thing i'm thinking about is finding her. >> reporter: first responders looking for her all night long and through the day, using every asset at their disposal. >> we have fresh sets of crews, fresh eyes again going up the chester creek and checking on both sides of the the creek bank from where the subject went in, all the way down to the mouth of the delaware. >> reporter: and tonight, word they've now transitioned to a recovery effort. >> linsey: what a heart wrenching outcome there.

somara, i know you're tracking that major cross-country storm. can you time that out for us? >> reporter: yes, linsey. this storm is a multi-day event. we have winter alerts right now spanning the northern plains, blizzard warnings in nebraska. parts of colorado, where they could see over a foot of snow, and white out conditions while traveling on the roads. meanwhile, the southern tier of the storm bringing the threat for severe weather tonight through wichita down to oklahoma city, and tomorrow that transitions to states like louisiana and mississippi where we could see a few tornadoes out of these storms and damaging winds. timing this all out, this storm system continues to sweep through tonight. you can see parts of dallas seeing strong thunderstorms. tomorrow morning, that commute could be a dangerous one for places like arkansas and southern missouri. and then as we head into tomorrow evening, that's when it arrives in louisiana, mississippi, before heading into the great lakes bringing them heavy rain tuesday morning. linsey. >> linsey: people need to take time. somara, our thanks to you. speaking of time, it is running out for former president trump to secure $464 million

bond in his civil fraud trial. trump's lawyers say he's facing insurmountable difficulties but the new york attorney general is already preparing for a possible seizure of trump's assets. aaron katersky joining us now. just hours until the deadline, any indications trump is ready to pay? >> reporter: i don't think he can pay. his lawyers have said he can cover at most about a quarter of the civil fraud judgment, and anything more they have said would be a practical impossibility. trump has claimed on social media he is sitting on $500 million cash, but he hasn't provided any evidence. his lawyers said he may have been referring to money accumulated over the years he intended to spend on his campaign. but he's now complaining democrats are trying to bleed him dry amid all his legal woes. trump actually hasn't spent any of his own money on his campaign since 2016. if he fails to post a bond, new york attorney general letitia james can begin freezing accounts and seizing assets. but there's no indication that

has to start tomorrow, especially, linsey, with trump's request for a reprieve pending before an appeals court. >> linsey: we'll soon know if it's an impossibility as his attorneys say. aaron, thank you. we turn to the israel/hamas war and the intense battle at the al shifa hospital, one of the largest and longest raids since the war began nearly six month ago. abc's matt gutman reports from tel aviv. >> reporter: tonight, israel calling its ongoing weeklong raid into gaza's al-shifa hospital one of the largest and most successful operations of this six-month war. palestinian witnesses calling it something else -- hellish. the idf says it has detained over 800 men since the surprise raid began early last monday, claiming 480 of them are hamas and islamic jihad members. the military says it has killed at least 170 people and avoided civilian casualties. >> the idf has assisted the sick and the wounded and helped move many of them out of harm's way.

>> reporter: the idf releasing video showing troops delivering food, but saying it is in a standoff with militants who are holed up in certain parts of the hospital along with civilians. in november, during israel's first raid of al-shifa, we walked through surrounding neighborhood, already in ruins. you can see just the utter devastation around here. every car destroyed, almost every single building we see damaged from the fighting here. this time, it has been nearly impossible to contact people inside -- the telecommunications signal has been down all week. those displaced from the hospital trudging miles in tattered sandals, and in tears. this woman saying, "the walls collapsed. doors came down on my baby." others simply too overcome to talk. overnight, an israeli delegation comprising its top defense officials is set to land in washington for talks about this looming offensive into rafah, something, linsey, the biden administration continues to call a mistake. >> linsey: the white house clear in its opposition. matt, thank you.

>> i am ruling out nothing. >> reporter: those comments come amid a rift between benjamin netanyahu and president biden. israel suggests rafah is the last major stronghold of hamas, but biden facing political pressure, warning an invasion of rafah would be a mistake. >> what we're seeing here with a forced famine is beyond our ability to deny or explain away. there is no targeting of hamas in precipitating a mass famine of a million people. half of whom are children. >> reporter: after chuck schumer called for new elections in israel, republicans on capitol hill speaking with netanyahu virtually behind closed doors. in an interview with our jonathan karl, marco rubio reaffirming his support. >> you cannot have a country in which this threat continues to exist. they have to finish this job. this fighting can end tomorrow. you want a cease-fire in gaza. it's simple, hamas just surrender. >> linsey: rachel scott joins us from washington. you also spoke with the vice president about reproductive

rights. as the u.s. supreme court hears oral arguments this week in a case that could impact access to the abortion pill. what did she have to say about that? >> reporter: yes, and the supreme court is expected to take up that case on tuesday. at the center, a debate over whether the fda should have approved access to mifepristone which is used in more than half of abortions in the united states. in our interview, the vice president stressing the importance of abortion care remaining widely available. linsey. >> linsey: rachel scott, thanks so much. tonight, one of the country's largest airlines, united, is under renewed scrutiny from the faa after a series of recent mishaps. according to bloomberg, the agency is considering limiting its routes. faith abubey joins us now. these are certainly drastic measures that the faa is considering. >> reporter: these potential restrictions would be substantial and effectively keep united airlines from expanding its business, at least in the short term. tonight, the faa is confirming it has increased its oversight

over the airline to identify hazards and insure safety, but bloomberg, which is citing unidentified sources, adding details. reporting that the agency is also considering blocking the airline from adding new routes and also restricting it from flying paying passengers on newly added flights. now, the new report also adding that the faa has already suspended the airline's ability to approve and promote pilots. this all coming after a series of safety issues recently. united has put its employees on notice, telling them to actually expect an increased presence of the faa in their operations while still stressing that safety is their top priority. linsey. >> linsey: this could of course have widespread impacts. faith, thank you. holland america says an investigation is under way with local authorities into the deaths of two crew members aboard a cruise ship in the bahamas. abc's reena roy has the details just in. >> reporter: tonight, an urgent investigation into the deaths of two crew members aboard a cruise

ship in the bahamas. the captain breaking the news to passengers. >> he was audibly crying. it was shocking to hear that. >> reporter: holland america blaming an accidental steam release for the deadly incident inside an engineering space friday morning during a weeklong sail from fort lauderdale, florida, while the ship was stopped at half moon cay. >> the entire ship turned somber. he asked for a moment of silence. >> reporter: the cruise line identifying the victims as joseph terrado, an engineer, and wawan gusnawan, a wiper on the ship. maritime law firm walker & o'neill sending us video that they say shows the engine room, and was given to them by a former crew member. the firm says the workers were installing filters there when a steam compensator unrelated to their duties exploded, the room engulfed by steam. the lawyers calling the incident a "catastrophic explosion,

combined with a series of mistakes in responding to the accident." and tonight, bahamian police confirming they are investigating this incident. linsey. >> linsey: truly catastrophic, reena, thank you. a horrific mountain lion attack in rural northern california has left one brother dead and another badly hurt. it's the first verified fatal incident of its kind in california in 20 years. here's zohreen shah. >> reporter: tonight, the chilling dispatch audio of a mountain lion attack in northern california that left one man dead and his brother injured while hunting for antlers shed by wildlife. >> we got a report of a subject attacked by a mountain lion, code three, fire and medical are enroute now. >> reporter: the el dorado county sheriff's office says they received a call saturday afternoon from an 18-year-old who said a mountain lion attacked him and his 21-year-old brother. >> medical is with the first patient, an 18-year-old male who last saw his brother, a 21-year-old male, pinned down by the mountain lion. >> reporter: deputies and paramedics on the scene within
